Typical Morning

We are apparently at the pinnacle of the pups' playtime impulses. This video was shot this morning as the pups played with a plastic container that I put a small handful of gravel in. Their frantic antics are very typical of every morning. I am beginning to become very jealous of their burning up so much energy while I sit here trying to work up the gumption to get up and go pee.

Our backyard is full of their "toys" strewn about, left where they tired of playing with them. It's amazing to see what they select as their toy of the day. They are particularly attracted to large plastic or metal things that they can chase, chew, and battle over. Here's our living room this morning. They are particularly fond of the large blue bowl.

And battle over things, they do. Mostly, it is play, but like human siblings, they have an occasional spat over one now and then. The squirrel episode in my last post was another example of how much energy can explode at any moment.

Ah, they are quiet now. Maybe too quiet. Nope, they just came sauntering in from the kitchen. They are subdued right now. Joyce left to go to the grocery store. They hate it when one of their pack is missing. They will fire up again no doubt when Joyce returns and it will start all over again.

Agh! They just dragged my trash bin away from where it sits by my chair and scattered tissues all over the place. Will it never end?
